How to do Kettlebell Gorilla Row

Setup

Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width and two kettlebells on the floor between your feet. Hinge at the hips to grip one kettlebell in each hand with a flat back and hips above your knees.

How to do it

  1. Row one kettlebell to your hip while the other arm stays anchored to support your torso
  2. Squeeze your shoulder blade back at the top of each pull
  3. Lower with control until the kettlebell nearly touches the floor, then alternate sides
  4. Keep your hips square to the ground by resisting the urge to rotate

Watch out for

  • Twisting the torso to heave the weight up instead of rowing with your back
  • Rounding the spine or letting your hips rise too high in the setup
